Alexsys 15054 Stratasys 3D Printer Maintenance Contract

The contract award for Stratasys J850 and 450MC 3D printer maintenance is a sole-source, simplified acquisition under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), executed by the Department of Defense through the Air Force Materiel Command at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia. The contract’s sole purpose is to ensure uninterrupted operational readiness of mission-critical 3D printing systems used by the 580th Software Engineering Squadron for rapid prototyping of Line Replaceable Units. Maintenance services are provided exclusively by Stratasys, the original equipment manufacturer, as it is the only authorized entity capable of delivering OEM proprietary parts, diagnostic tools, and certified technicians required to service these systems. The contract includes a base year and four optional one-year periods, with each year broken into separate line items covering Emerald Care maintenance for both printer models. Performance occurs on-site at Warner Robins, Georgia, with services commencing 30 days after order receipt and extending annually through the option periods. The work involves comprehensive preventative maintenance, including replacement of wearable components such as tubes, belts, and print heads, as well as inspection and servicing of all moving parts to prevent catastrophic failure and mission disruption. No pricing data is disclosed in the document, and while the structure supports a firm-fixed-price model, financial values are absent. The sole-source justification emphasizes that no viable technical or operational alternatives exist, with reliance on Stratasys’ proprietary systems creating an inherent organizational conflict of interest that is acknowledged but not formally mitigated. There are no specified packaging, marking, quality standards, security clearance requirements, key personnel commitments, or formal inspection criteria beyond compliance with the OEM’s Emerald Care protocol. Invoicing, payment office details, accounting codes, and contracting officer’s representative information are also not provided. The contract is electronically administered through SAM.gov, with the contracting officer certified on February 3, 2026, and no amendments or additional documentation beyond the service scope and option structure are referenced.
